Because evolution is the only scientificly proven "theory" about the existence ofthe universe.
I always thought we are told to be tolerant of other peoples beliefs and their world views. All are equal unless it involves God.

Of course Darwinism is incompatible with religion. It is secular by design. No God is needed in their world. In fact a God, if proven, would eviscerate their theory. They can't afford even a glimmer of a hint that God might actually exist or have created the world.
I have always wanted a "testible hypothesis" from the evolution crowd but there is no such testible hyposthesis to be able to get something from nothing.
They can always produce results from already created materials but have yet to create something from nothing.
Correct.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be respectful of creation accounts, but we can be respectful without teaching them in science class.
Good!
Not in the slightest. It's why people 500 years ago believed the Sun revolved around the Earth.
Well someone with a higher order sense had to CREATE the thread!! /s
Quick read and I you've got to like this
"Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an
activist judge. If so, they will have erred as this is manifestly not an activist Court.
Rather, this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction
on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a
constitutional test case on ID,"....The breathtaking inanity of the
Board’s decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which
has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers
of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.
As expected. I'm looking forward to reading the actual ruling.
In the meantime, I have my bag of popcorn here, and will watch the proceedings in the thread.
As I understand it, evolution theory (of whatever variety) doesn't have anything to say about the origin of the cosmos and the initial conditions attendant thereto.
The much-awaited decision in the Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District is now available.
The 139 page document finds for the plaintiffs.
Judge Jones finds that “intelligent design” is not science. The DASD ID policy violates both purpose and effect prongs of the Lemon test, and also violates the Pennsylvania constitution.
When it is God's hand which is holding atoms together, which is the reason God belongs in the science classroom.
Hopefully the school board won't appeal given their new members & the last election. Once is enough. They need not embarass themselves any further.
Totally false. Most religions both now and in the past are perfectly compatible with Darwin's theory. In fact, if a God were proven to exist, from a rational standpoint what it would eviscerate is the notion that Genesis is literal history.
Well, duh!!
Was any other outcome really expected? Thanks for posting it though!
Goddidit, goldang it. And if you don't agree, you're a bloodsucking Commie leftist Democrat and should be hung with all the other traitors. [/sarc]
